Ólhv Frag 7III/2 — af ‘away from’

Áðr grimmhugaðr gengi
af grjót-Móða dauðum.

Áðr grimmhugaðr gengi af dauðum grjót-Móða.

Before the fierce-minded one walked away from the dead rock-Móði <god> [GIANT].

notes

[All]: The couplet has dróttkvætt-like lines except that there is no internal rhyme in the first line and skothending rather than aðalhending in the second. This is similar to the metre Snorri refers to as munnvǫrp ‘mouth-throwings’ (Ht 66).
